| The following is a list of the standard windows colours, their RGB
numbers and the RGB Value converted to its long value. The RGB function just returns this
long value so you can make your programs run a bit faster by using the long value and not
having to calculate the long from the RGB values each time the function runs. PBPaste has a colour calculator window which allows you to
mix colours or choose from one of the standard 16 colours and the special colours and the
long value be pasted directly into PowerBuilder.
